KEM Mumbai M.S: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. GSMC Mumbai offers MS in E.N.T., General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Orthopaedics. All four are 3-year NMC-approved programmes at KEM Hospital. Admission is through NEET PG and Maharashtra DMER counselling. Given GSMC’s NIRF rank 11 and KEM Hospital’s clinical reputation, these seats are among the most sought-after in Maharashtra’s DMER PG counselling; expect very high NEET PG rank requirements for government quota seats.

Ans. Government MS residents at GSMC receive a monthly stipend of ₹65,791-66,913 under Maharashtra state norms. This stipend is paid in addition to (not deducted from) the tuition fee of ₹4,34,000. The stipend is generally sufficient to cover living, food, and basic expenses in Mumbai for a resident, though hostel charges are additional. Most residents find the stipend comfortable by Indian PG medical training standards.

Ans. The fee structure (₹4,34,000 total) and stipend are identical for all MS specializations at GSMC. The key difference is the clinical department and specialization of training. MS General Surgery offers broad abdominal, laparoscopic, and emergency surgical training at KEM’s high-volume surgery department, while MS Orthopaedics focuses on musculoskeletal surgery in one of KEM’s busiest departments. Both are government quota seats admitted via Maharashtra DMER counselling based on NEET PG merit.

Ans. Yes. An MS from an NMC-recognized medical college in a relevant surgical discipline is the eligibility requirement for M.Ch (super-specialty surgical) programmes. MS (General Surgery) qualifies for M.Ch in several surgical super-specialties including Gastro-intestinal Surgery, Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery, and more. Eligible base degrees for each M.Ch specialization are listed in the NBE NEET SS information bulletin. GSMC itself offers M.Ch programmes in Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neuro Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Urology.

Ans. No. GSMC Mumbai is a government medical college under the Maharashtra government. All MS seats are government quota seats allocated through Maharashtra DMER PG Medical counselling on the basis of NEET PG merit. There are no management quota, NRI quota, or institutional seats. This makes admission highly merit-driven but also ensures fee parity at ₹4,34,000 with no additional capitation fees.
